What Is It?
The quarantine level in each area is changing every fifteen days as decided by
the government and the IATF-EID. Depending on the risk level, changing the quarantine
status (i.e. ECQ, MECQ, GCQ, MGCQ) may vary from one place to another. This
means that the way of life in a certain place must also conform to the existing rules and
regulations. Honestly, community quarantine affects us all. We are still facing the
uncertainties of tomorrow. The COVID-19 pandemic forces the government to
implement the “new normal” in order to move forward. Programs and policies are made
to help the society adapt to this. Still, we need to practice social distancing, continue to
wear masks and wash hands more often as we continue to face this battle. How about
you? Have you adjusted already to the “new normal”?
What did you do at home during quarantine period? Did you gain weight? Did you
use your free time wisely? Did you sleep well? Did you still exercise? What recreational
activities did you do? How did you feel about your so-long-stay at home? Did you feel
bored? Were you happy for not going out with friends like what you were used to do?
How about the people around you and your family? Did you spend more time with them
in doing recreational and positive activities to relax and to have fun? Feel free to briefly
share your most unforgettable experience during the quarantine period in the space
provided below.
ANSWER:
- For me I take this as a part of the challenge of my life and as time goes
by I already adjust the situation in this new normal especially to my
study. I just making my school works and making household chores just
like cleaning, cooking and maintaining the house clean. Yes, but not too
much it was just a normal body weight. I always used my time wisely and
balance everything in order to accomplish it all. Last month I joined in
the poster making and I showed there about how we are struggling in
this time of COVID-19 pandemic. Happy because I spend time bonding
with my family. Not too bored but sometimes I feel it but I find things to
spend with. No because I cannot do it what are the usually things that we
are doing when we are together. I am happy with my family also because
this was the time that we can spend more time to enjoy and make a lot
of memories with them. One of the most
unforgettable moment in this time is making
have fun with my family I can actually say that it
is the time for us to realize how important is our
family even it is a pandemic we can build strong
relationship to each other.
Recreation does not stop during this pandemic. There are so many recreational
activities you can do at home to kill boredom. Have you tried gardening? Seeing the
healthy plants in your garden can make you smile. Did you do some household
chores like sweeping and scrubbing the floor, fetching water, feeding the pets or even
watering the plants? Doing them all with a big smile on your face is already a form of
recreation. How much more if you are doing them with your loved ones! Turn your
boredom into fun. Learning to like and love what you are doing will lead you to finding
real happiness in overcoming adversity. Relax, enjoy, have fun, smile, and most of all,
MOVE FORWARD.

write a reflection on how the people there do things that bring significant changes and
contributions in the society during this pandemic. Did they follow the existing rules and
regulations set by the local government unit for everybody’s safety? How?
ANSWER:
- Based of my observation the people are doing things on how they are
going to find money to sustain the daily needs of their family. Everyone
of them has the different ways to make a possible things happen but in a
good manner. So that our society is not too much in suffering poverty
because some people find things just to survive. The people are following
the rules and regulations set by the local government unit for
everybody’s safety just like they are applying those protocol like
observing social distancing, wearing mask and face shield, sanitize your
